On his birthday, Walter Sparrow, an amiable dog-catcher, takes a call that leaves him with a dog bite and late to pick up his wife. She's browsed in a bookstore, finding a blood-red-covered novel, a murder mystery with numerology that loops constantly around the number 23. The story captivates Walter: he dreams it, he notices aspects of his life that can be rendered by "23," he searches for the author, he stays in the hotel (in room 23) where events in the novel took place, and he begins to believe it was no novel. His wife and son try to help him, sometimes in sympathy, sometimes to protect him. Slowly, with danger to himself and to his family, he closes in on the truth.

Aw, Heck, Just Some Random Thoughts....

As previously shared in my Today's News blog, but now aggregated here for your pondering pleasure:February 9, 2007• OK, Jim Carrey's upcoming feature, The Number 23, has a rather unsettling PR campaign: I'm getting daily e-mails about (what I presume are) current real-life crimes/tragedies that somehow involve the number 23.• Is gossip columnist Cindy Adams almost impossible to read sometimes, or what? Fabricated example: "Mel Gibson. Braveheart. You know the drill. Yada-yada-yada. Lindsay. But that's old news if you-know-who is to be believed." Um, wha?! • I'm thinking/fearing we're gonna be stuck with this Sienna Miller for a bit, yes?• How awesome is that new "Cancel or Allow" TV spot in Apple's "PC Guy" campaign?!February 2, 2007• This whole Tyra Banks/"I'm not fat!" thing has to be one of the biggest non-stories to get such massive media play. Personally (and "until now," one of you will snark), I have steered clear of breathing a word about it, because...
